Electric Callboy on their new single and Brawl Stars collab: “We’ve always been massive gaming fans, so teaming up with Brawl Stars felt like a perfect match from the start. The track came together naturally, and we loved seeing it take shape as Damian’s theme. Damian fits our sound like he was built for it. Heavy, explosive, and impossible to ignore. It’s pressure, groove, and madness all at once. We love it!“

Electric Callboy comment on the upcoming album: “After our album TEKKNO and all the worldwide touring, TANZNEID took everything out of us. It was intense, exhausting, but also exactly what we needed after all the incredible moments we shared during that era.

With TANZNEID, we wanted to create something special, for our fans and for ourselves. Every track surges with energy. We took what we loved about TEKKNO and pushed it further, adding new elements, new sounds, and new extremes. Heavy beats, explosive drops, and moments that hit you right in the chest.The last singles RATATATA and Hypercharged were just the beginning. Now it’s raw, loud, and alive, in every pulse, every scream, every melody.

We wanted to match our music with your adrenaline, to create a record that pulls you onto the floor, makes your heart race, and doesn’t let go.

TANZNEID is built for the stage. So turn it up, lose yourself, and dance like no one’s watching.“

Electric Callboy are nearly impossible to categorize, and that’s exactly the point. Since forming in Germany in 2010, they’ve grown into a global force, driven by genre-defying hits like “Hypa Hypa,” “We Got The Moves,” and “RATATATA” (with BABYMETAL). Their 2022 album TEKKNO amassed hundreds of millions of streams worldwide, cementing their place at the forefront of modern heavy music.

With TANZNEID, the band push their sound even further, sharpening their signature mix of pop hooks, techno energy, and heavy breakdowns. Written in between relentless touring, across backstage areas, buses, and brief studio sessions, the album carries a raw sense of urgency, capturing the band at their most instinct-driven and immediate.

Built on contrast, Electric Callboy’s strength lies in blending extremes into something that feels seamless. On TANZNEID, that balance reaches a new level of precision, pairing high-impact energy with a more refined approach to songwriting and dynamics.

TANZNEID finds Electric Callboy at their most focused and fearless, driven by momentum, creative freedom, and a clear refusal to stand still.
